Letter of Appreciation
Angels in the Snowstorm Won Master’s
Applause
By Toronto News Group, Canada (Originally in English)
On the evening of December 19, Golden Year 5 (2008), Ms. Donna Molnar, a 55-year-old Canadian resident of Ancaster, west of Toronto, went missing during a severe snowstorm. A few dozen police officers, volunteers and service dogs from the Hamilton Police Volunteer Search and Rescue Canine Team launched the urgent mission of searching for Ms. Molner in the blizzard. Two whole days had passed when a second snowstorm hit the region with temperatures dropping as low as -29 Celsius, yet the officers and their canine pals refused to give up. On the third day of the search, Ace, a 5-year-old Dutch Shepherd, suddenly launched out running across the field where the snow was higher than his chest. Without delay he barked and pawed some 75 meters away, where his human companion officer Ray Lau in turn found Ms. Molner breathing beneath the 60 centimetres of snow.
Ace is an energetic, versatile dog who found his second home and a lifelong career with the help of the Hamilton Police Volunteer Search and Rescue Canine Team. He was assigned to work with officer Lau and went through more than 1,000 hours of training each year in all weather conditions. All their efforts proved to be worthwhile when Ms. Molner was found alive after being buried under snow for 72 hours. Our beloved Master sent a letter of appreciation to Officer Lau and Ace for their life saving work along with US$200. The Hamilton Police Search and Rescue Team leader David Walker and Officer Lau expressed sincere gratitude to Supreme Master Ching Hai for the letter and gift. They also received DVDs of Master’s lectures and flyers about Climate Change. Our heartfelt thanks to Ace and Ray Lau of the Hamilton Police Department
for bravely risking your own lives, enduring harsh conditions to selflessly
help the community - which makes our world a much better place.
